Get ahead
Keeps for several months in a cool dark place.
- Put all the ingredients in a pan with 750ml water. Bring slowly to the boil, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
- Simmer for 15 minutes then set aside to cool and infuse – if you can leave it to infuse overnight, the flavour will be even better. Strain through a fine sieve. Store in sterilised bottles.
Tip
If making for a gift, print the following on your gift label: Add 250ml spiced syrup to 750ml red wine, cider or apple juice and heat through gently to serve.
